What? Okay, the "99% HUMIDITY" I'm sure is some kind of in-joke for the brewery. Is it funny? Well, maybe. I mean, it's not funny to me. But the 5.04% ABV is just a bridge too far. Reel it in, laughbags! No one thinks this is funny, and I bet that includes you. It's dumb. I'm going to round this off to 5.0%, like a Mikes Hard Lemonade. In fact, I think I may do direct comparisons throughout the review to highlight the similarities. HOW FUNNY AM I?
Bottom Line: Who Dat? Dat me getting a different beer.
Not sure I've had a golden ale that was hazy before, but this is hazy. I complain about people adding "hazy" to the description of their beer too much, so good for you to not do that. You know who else didn't? Mike's Hard Lemonade. The head is nothing to write home about, and the aroma is pretty bad. It's not the yeast, and it's not the grains, but they're both here. The hops are just odd. Pine joins some odd mix of blueberries, starfruit, and maybe avocado?
First sip is much more mellow than the smell, and it has a strange mix of an unbalanced yeast, grains, oatmeal, and the odd mix of fruits, but they aren't... yelling at me. Also, I keep getting the impression of salt being in this. On the whole, the sip kind of meh. It doesn't stand out above its peers like Mike's Hard Lemonade stands out as a superior lemonade to most of the ones that come after it.
Tip-in is pine, herbs, and starfruit with oats and almost no carbonation. The middle picks up with kind of a muted version of what I had already tasted in the sip. The finish brings bitterness and a nasty little aftertaste that makes me want to not drink anymore - unlike Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Bottom Line: Who Dat? Dat me getting a different beer.
